Brown Trout
If you're after brown trout near Grand Beach, the St. Joseph River is your primary target. This river system supports a healthy population of these fish, particularly during their fall spawning run. The area near Berrien Springs is a popular spot, but exploring further upstream can yield good results with less pressure. Focus on deep holes, undercut banks, and areas with woody debris – these are prime brown trout lies. Casting crankbaits or drifting spawn sacs are effective methods. Fly fishing with streamers can also be productive, especially in the early morning or late evening. A local tip: be mindful of the water levels, as the St. Joseph can fluctuate rapidly after rain. Check the USGS gauge before you go. The brown trout in the St. Joseph River are known for their size and aggressive strikes, making them a prized catch for any angler.
